197. Windows 7 Tip -- Eudora Mail

Are you a Eudora mail fan? Then you're in trouble when you go to Windows 7. No version is available yet. Qualcomm is working (early beta test) an open source version. If you read my precious post you could have assumed I didn't like Live Mail at all -- shredded it like an old rag toy. You might consider downloading Thunderbird at GetThunderbird.com for your PC driven mail package. It seems good so far for single accounts -- multiple accounts at the same POP address (such as Master's and wife's) didn't work. I assume to get it to work would be similar to that of Eudora, i.e., INSTALL Thunderbird twice into separate libraries, one for you and one for the better half. Of course, you could also play with setting up different User Accounts and Logins for Windows too (installing in each), but this I found to be an installation and maintenance nightmare. By the way, the Window Upgrade Advisor program that is supposed to catch hardware and software that needs upgrading from an older Windows system did NOT catch Eudora -- other things are also not caught, so don't depend on it to be all inclusive of the problems you will face.
